CSM 3.3.1 and 6500

[Nikos Nicolaides]

Hello,

We are facing a problem with CSM 3.3.1 and 6500 switch with FWSM. We have 2x 6500 switches with 2 supervisors in each + 2 FWSM cards one in each chassis. The problem is that we have CSM 3.3.1 that manages the switch and FWSM. The problem is that when we try to delete a VLAN in 6500 we get a deployment failure because the switch outputs this message:

% Applying VLAN changes may take few minutes. Please wait..

We are using the following IOS version.

Geia sou Niko,

I would suggest looking into https://supportforums.cisco.com/docs/DOC-14307#212_Failed_deployment

Your deployment fails because the parser doesn't consider the warning as a success code. Your workaround for these commands could be a FlexConfig that pushes the command.

I hope it helps.

Hi Nicolas,

did Panos answer answers your question? Otherwise let us know and we will investigate further.

Thanks

Hi all,

Sorry for not replying earlier. We found a workaround, as quoted below:

Changing How Security Manager Responds to Device Messages

Security Manager has built-in responses to many of the response messages that can be encountered when configuring a device. You might find that messages Security Manager treats as errors are messages that you want to ignore or treat as informational. Although you can configure your deployment jobs to ignore errors, you might instead want to update Security Manager to treat specific messages differently. To change how Security Manager treats a message, you need to update the DCS.properties file in \CSCOpx\MDC\athena\config folder in the installation directory (usually c:\Program Files).

Use a text editor such as NotePad to update the file. It is easiest to determine the message you want to ignore by looking at the transcript of a deployment job that encountered the error using these steps:

Step 1 Select the job with the error message from the Deployment Manager window.

Step 2 Click the Transcript button in the Deployment Details tab to open the transcript.

Step 3 Identify the error text that you want to ignore.

Step 4 Locate the appropriate warning expressions property in the DCS.properties file. For example, for PIX devices the property is called dev.pix.warningExpressions, whereas for IOS devices the property is called dev.ios.warningExpressions.Conversely, you can make device responses that are not tagged with the Error prefix to appear as error messages. To do this, add the message to the Error Expressions list (for example, dev.pix.ErrorExpressions).

Step 5 Add the error text to the warning expressions list. The warning message should be a generic regular expression string. Except for the last expression, you must delimit all expressions with “$\”. For example, if the message you want to ignore is “Enter a public key as a hexadecimal number,” enter the following string: .*Enter a public key as a hexidecimal number .*$

Step 6 Restart the CiscoWorks Daemon Manager
